Does it appear to be running the CD the entire time its hung? The cdrom does not spin but the cpu fan comes on full, this time I also tried with the docking station with the same result. Can you try booting with 'linux acpi=off' and 'linux nofirewire' to see if either of them help? linux acpi=off gets me to media check, I will finish the install later and let you know if problem re-emerges. Thanks Thanks sounds good. The Tecra 8100 has a BIOS that requires acpi=off. Likely that the Tecra 8000 does too. When you boot with acpi=off, please gather the output from /usr/sbin/acpidmp and /usr/sbin/dmidecode and attach them to this bug report. If the dmidecode on your disks doesn't work, try this one: http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ BTW. looks like bios 9.30 from 2 years ago is the latest for this box: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?ProductMenu_0=Portables&ProductMenu_1=Tecra&ProductMenu_2=1073769805&x=24&y=10&BV_SessionID=%40%40%40%401231395850.1061511304%40%40%40%40&BV_EngineID=ccceadcjehhmkficgfkceghdgngdgll.0&moid=1073769805&smoid=true&ct=DL&ListType=Model We now default to acpi=off unless the user overrides it on the boot command line. |
